Kindekens encloses a letter from his brother Joseph Kindekens for Lefevere's perusal. He informs the bishop of a letter from Mr. Smalley of Swanton, Vermont about the Highgate case. It is a very complicated affair; having been in the County Courts and the Supreme Court, it is now being tried in Chancery. He thinks he will have to go to Yankeedom to make this last trial succeed. There are so many nice points of Canon Law, which he could not well explain in writing without writing a volume; an examination before a Commission here or in Detroit would not afford a proper exposition. In case he should be asked to go to Vermont could Lefevere send somebody to care for his parish during his absence? :: III-2-j A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.
